That looks like a nice cue, I've never heard of welsh pool trading cues, any info on them? Many thanks, Will :snooker: Sorry to hijack the thread.

It is a nice cue indeed, no longer trading unfortunately, were priced around the £150 max i think, later learned they were actually made by Mastercraft

Thanks jrc, would have probably got one for that price! Never mind :snooker:

From what I understand, most handmade cues have added weight to get them up to the requested weight.
I would think that nearly all budget machine made cues will have added weights.
I am sure it is difficult to get the weight just right using the shaft/butt/splice/veneers woods alone, maybe a cuemaker will hop in here with some clarifying knowledge
Maybe a butt with multiple/multiple four-splices may need weight reducing measures
cheers

That's what i was hoping

When Dan Shelton sorted out those weights for me, he said the cue only weighed around 15 1/4 oz naturally

I've already quizzed mike on his prices for adding a butt joint (£30) which I thought was rather high. He argued his point and then decided to put it up to £35! Fair play to the chap I say. People must pay it so why charge less?

[cueman]

1 piece cues will definitely need to be weighted, natural weight usually anything from around 13-16 oz tops. 3/4 cues tend not to need a weight inserted as the butts are usually solid ebony and the weight of those are usually just right to give an even balance.

[Neil Taperell]

Thanks Cueman . Only ever had 3/4 cues .Was thinking about a one piece but would want quite a heavy cue , not sure if i'd like that much weight put into it . Was thinking about 18.75 to 19.25 oz

[jrc750]

I think it was Trevor who said, if done correctly you would never know weight has been added, so don't worry about that

Cheers JRC

So, dont ask him why he charges 35 GBP now or else he may move it up more. LOL.

On a serious note, I dont know why people keep saying so and so can do just as good a job as Mike...because with all due respect to other cue makers Mike's craftsmanship is really outstanding from my prespective and only may be one or two cue makers can be compared to his standard in my opinion. His cues are also one of the most consistent out here, which is very hard to do.
